Clarence Junior (Chuck) Worth was born in O'Neill, NE on February 18,1934.  He was the youngest of eight children born to Clarence Earl and Ina Estella Worth.  He entered the arms of his Heavenly Father on August 31, 2024, at The Highlands Rehabilitation Center in Bella Vista, AR.

Chuck grew up in the O'Neill vicinity and then enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served his country for twenty-six years. During this tenure he served overseas in Japan, then in a classified field in Pakistan and Australia. Stateside most of his service was Massachusetts, Washington State and Louisiana.  He and his wife collected antiques while living in Australia and opened an antique booth once back in the states, continuing to buy and sell for years. After retiring from the military, Chuck became a building contractor for a few years which evolved into becoming a landlord for several years. Upon traveling from his last place of station in Louisiana to his childhood home in O'Neill, the beautiful city of Bella Vista, AR was enroute. He and his bride of sixty-six years succumbed and bought a lot there, which has influenced his residency in Bella Vista for the last 40 years. During that time, he worked for the Post Office for about seventeen years, until he retired for the second time. He also pastored a home church and was instrumental in building two churches in Bella Vista. He loved God and the Word and would eagerly talk to anyone who would listen. Although raised in a Christian home, he found the Lord at age 50 after having a divine encounter in the middle of the night in which he felt God calling him to sell all his rental houses, which he obediently did. His life was transformed, and he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to growing his relationship with Christ. His bible was always with him: highlighted, underlined, noted, and cherished.

Chuck was a very accomplished man, but his greatest accomplishment was being the best husband, Dad, and Grandpa a man could be. He loved his family and thanked God daily for the blessing they were to him. He loved family get togethers, playing games and welcomed all friends and neighbors to join in the merriment. Chuck had a quick wit and was always up for a good laugh and maybe a practical joke or two. He was a wise man, and people were always drawn to him.

He was preceded in death by siblings,  Victoria Worth, Audrey Page, Charles Worth, Roy Worth, Ina Mae Wetzler and Ardyce Protivinsky.

He is survived by his wife, DeMaris (Lindberg) Worth (known as Dee); and three children, Gerald Worth (Beth); Jacklyn Gain (Robert) and Dyanna Lowe (Rodney); and sibling, Blanche Wetzler. Chuck is lovingly remembered by his nine grandchildren:  Alisa Dannecker (John), Jennifer Startz (Nicholas), Heather Harris (Jordan),  Andrew Worth (Stephanie), Christopher Gain  (Morgann), Amanda Gain, Joshua Gain (Jessica), Darby Shinnall (Kasey), Madison Hart (Spence) and Reed Lowe (Tatum);  and by his 23 great grandchildren, Kyle, Ethan, Joel, Alexis, Alexander, Camden, Jackson, Annabelle, Vivienne,  Everett, Julianna (next month), Madison, Kathryn, Caden, Jackson, Jacob, Ayden, Malachi, Elias, Emery, Kyler, Barrett, Marlee, and Emmett.
